it works for basics, like telling you where to go, who to fight, etc etc etc but you're right, the playonline stuff did get really sickening after the first few pages. the section labeled "Sidequests, Mini-Games, and Secrets" DOESN'T TELL YOU CRAP. it's like, oh, there's a sidequest at the Eidolon Wall, SEE PLAYONLINE FOR THE SCOOP!!! ugh, i wanted to slap it. which reminds me, if anyone did that Eidolon Wall sidequest and got Garnet's name, please tell me how to do that.......i'm going insane
